In Stock and Ready to Ship: Olympic Equipment Secures $2M Facility for Working Capital

Olympic Equipment has partnered with Hum Capital on a $2,000,000 facility to fund working capital as the business grows. The structure was tailored to Olympic Equipment’s requirements to support inventory investment over a multi-year horizon rather than a single seasonal cycle.

The Challenge

For a business that competes on availability, growth shows up first as inventory.

Olympic sells professional-grade equipment on the promise that it’s in stock and moving out the door quickly, backed by installation, parts, and long-term service. That promise is expensive to maintain. Every unit sitting on the floor and every part stocked for a fast repair is cash committed ahead of the sale. As volume grows, the carry grows with it — and it often grows faster than the receipts.

Traditional working capital solutions tend to be sized to a single cycle, which leaves a growing business resolving the same problem every few months instead of investing through it.

A Structure Built Around the Business

Hum Financial (Hum Capital’s direct lending arm) put a $2,000,000 facility in place with a multi-year tenor, giving Olympic Equipment the ability to draw against growth as it comes rather than financing inventory one purchase order at a time.

The structure was built to match how the business actually converts cash — inventory purchased, held, sold, installed, and serviced — with enough term to let that cycle run more than once before the facility amortizes.

What This Facility Enables

  • Inventory ahead of demand — materials on hand to keep the in-stock, fast-ship promise as volume grows
  • Growth funded through the cycle — a facility termed for multiple inventory turns, not one
  • Capacity to serve, not just sell — working capital that supports parts, installation, and service alongside equipment sales
  • A capital partner for what’s next — an established relationship to support the company’s continued growth
